雾霾空气中细菌特征及对健康的潜在影响

论文从群落结构、浓度变化及粒径分布的角度论述了雾霾天气对空气细菌特征的影响,并结合了雾霾天气相关疾病的发病率,综合评价了雾霾天气空气病原菌导致的人群潜在健康风险的变化,最后提出了以前研究存在的不足及未来的发展趋势。综合研究结果,雾霾天气对空气细菌群落结构、浓度变化及粒径分布的影响,研究人员在不同城市得出的研究结果不同,可能由样点的时空环境、气象因素、雾霾程度及采集、检验、鉴定空气细菌方法等多种因素的差异引起。雾霾空气中已发现病原细菌均为条件致病菌,在空气中含量很低,但雾霾天气下部分病原菌的相对丰度增加,致病力会显著增强。此外,高浓度的细颗粒物和化学污染物可损伤皮肤黏膜屏障,打破呼吸道和皮肤的微生态平衡,为病原菌侵入创造较好的机会。两者的协同作用,显著增加了雾霾天气空气中病原菌的健康风险。     

沙尘暴对北京市空气细菌多样性特征的影响

亚洲沙尘暴携带着各类污染物质,严重影响下风向地区大气过程及生态系统和相关人群的健康。然而,沙尘天气对中国华北地区空气细菌群落及多样性特征影响的研究较少。以北京市为例,系统研究了沙尘暴对城市空气细菌多样性特征的影响。2015年4月,通过定点采样连续收集了一次沙尘暴及其前后4天的空气颗粒物样本,DNA提取、PCR扩增后进行16S rRNA基因高通量测序。共获得169122条高质量序列,生物信息学分析表明,北京市空气细菌物种多样性较高,沙尘暴不能引起细菌OTU数目的增加,但沙尘暴天气下细菌群落Pielou、Shannon和Simpson指数显著增加。菌群分类分析发现,北京市空气细菌由35个细菌门构成,其中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)相对丰度最高,分别占总序列的32.76%、28.09%、25.46%和6.32%;芽单胞菌门(Gemmatimonadetes)和酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)次之,分别占序列总数的2.11%和1.81%,其他细菌门的相对丰度均低于1%。沙尘暴天气下,变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)、芽单胞菌门(Gemmatimonadetes)和酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)显著升高(P<0.05),分别由31.67%、5.74%、1.82%、1.51%升高至41.46%、10.98%、4.48%和4.26%;而放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)显著降低(P <0.05),分别由28.84%、27.10%降低至22.13%和12.35%。冷杆菌属(Psychrobacter),纤维单胞菌属(Cellulomonas),不动杆菌属(Acinetobacter),假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)和梭菌属(Clostridium)可能含有人类条件病原菌,其在沙尘暴天气中相对丰度下降,但绝对丰度会大幅增加。沙尘暴能降低人体免疫力,因此致病菌潜在健康风险可能显著增强。通过聚类分析和主成分分析发现,沙尘暴日与非沙尘暴日空气细菌群落差异较大,而沙尘暴前后群落结构差异较小。沙尘暴前后空气细菌群落α-多样性和β多样性均无显著差异,推测沙尘暴只能暂时影响空气细菌群落特征,不能显著改变其群落结构。本研究通过分析了沙尘暴侵袭下北京市空气细菌群落多样性特征及动态,为制定中国北方城市沙尘暴灾害预警措施和建立气传疾病的防控机制提供数据支持。     

银川市典型湖泊湿地水体中可培养细菌的时空变化特征

本文分别于春、夏、秋、冬季对银川市阅海湿地13个位点,鸣翠湖湿地14个位点,黄河湿地A区11个位点取水样,采用平板菌落计数法,研究各湿地水体中可培养细菌的时空变化规律。结果显示:三大湿地水体中细菌数量在四季中变化趋势相同,即水体中细菌菌落数均呈现夏﹥秋﹥春﹥冬的总体变化趋势。随着空间位置的变化、水质状态的变化,水体中总可培养细菌菌落均数亦产生相应变化,其空间分布有相似规律但亦具备其各自特点。     

空气中细菌污染的监测

空气中因缺乏养料,且受日光的照射,不适宜细菌的生长繁殖,故空气中没有固定的细菌群系。但由于人群和动物的活动以及土壤中细菌随尘土飞扬,因此空气中可含有不同种类的细菌。城市人口密集,交通发达,不可避免的使空气受到污染。本次课外活动,我们仅对市内几个不同场所进行了监测,目的是了解空气的卫生情况,增强学生的环境意识,向人们宣传环境保护的意义。     

北京城市公园环境下自生植物物种组成及多样性时空特征

城市绿地中的人工栽培植物景观已造成资源消耗过高、景观同质化等一系列问题。随着人类生态意识的提高,城市中可自播繁衍、无需过多养护管理同时可发挥生态效益的自生植物引起了国内外的广泛关注,但以往研究主要以整个城市环境作为基底,针对其在城市绿地中的分布特征鲜有报道。为揭示城市绿地中自生植物的多样性特征及其分布的时空格局以指导低维护景观的营建,本研究以北京奥林匹克森林公园为例,采用网格布样法,于2015年生长季的3—11月对所有样点重复调研七次,运用多样性指数、群落聚类、Duncan检验等统计计算方法针对物种组成、群落多样性及群落分类进行了深入探讨。结果表明:全园自生植物丰富,共记录到32科98属128种,其中乡土植物占76.56%,外来植物占23.44%,入侵植物占12.50%。在物种组成的时间变化上,各月份记录到的物种数呈单峰型分布,8月末物种数达到峰值,为98种;菊科(Asteraceae)植物物种数在整个生长季显著高于其他科,外来植物物种数及其所占比例均在夏季达到最高。从空间格局看,路边和林地是样方数量最多的生境类型,所容纳的物种数也最多,分别为109和106种。自生植物群落多样性在10月初显著高于其他月份,其次是8月末、4月末和6月初;各生境下的群落多样性排序较为不稳定,分析认为这是由于各季节不同程度的外界干扰所致。依据物种优势度,自生植物群落共被划分成了42个群落组,各季节和各生境下有其特定优势种和群落组合,其中有9个群落组在春、夏、秋三季均有出现,且大多数群落组随着季节变化景观呈现出丰富的野趣效果。这些研究结果在未来低维护、具有较高生物多样性及地域性特色的可持续性城市绿地植被景观营造中具有重要的参考价值。     

华北地台东部中寒武世微生物礁的时空分布

以三叶虫化石带的划分对比为时间标尺,通过对华北地台东部山东和辽宁复州湾8个中寒武世剖面广泛发育以Epiphyton,Renalcis和Girvanella类群落建造的微生物礁时空分布研究表明：曾经有5次主要的造礁期,它首现的最低层位是山东长清崮山徐庄阶顶部Bailiella—Lioparia带,而后在张夏期以此为核心向东、东北、东南扩展,至张夏阶顶部的Demesella-Yabeia带规模达最大。     

象山港网箱养殖区与非养殖区的细菌群落分布

近海集约化养殖是导致我国近海污染的主要来源之一。浮游细菌在近海生态系统的物质循环过程中发挥重要作用,研究海洋浮游细菌群落对养殖活动的响应,对于指示和评价海水养殖生态系统健康具有重要意义。采集了象山港网箱养殖区与非养殖区3个深度,包括表层(0.5 m)、中层(2.5 m)、底层(8.0 m)的水样,利用焦磷酸测序技术测定16S rRNA基因,研究浮游细菌的群落结构和多样性。结果表明:网箱养殖活动不仅使得附近区域水体理化性质发生改变,如化学需氧量浓度显著高于非养殖区域,而且显著地(P0.05)改变了浮游细菌的群落结构,但不同深度间群落结构和多样性的差异不显著。网箱养殖区和非养殖区中主要浮游细菌类群为α-变形菌(Alphaproteobacteria)、γ-变形菌(Gammaproteobacteria)、拟杆菌(Bacteroidetes)、放线菌(Actinobacteria)、β-变形菌(Betaproteobacteria)、ε-变形菌(Epsilonproteobacteria)和其它变形菌(Unclassified Proteobacteria),占细菌总序列数的98.64%。有些细菌类群的平均相对丰度从网箱区到非养殖区差异显著,如拟杆菌(P0.01)和放线菌(P0.05)显著降低,而γ-变形菌(P0.05)显著增加。相似度分析表明γ-变形菌、α-变形菌和拟杆菌是造成网箱区和非养殖区群落差异的主要类群,对群落差异总贡献率达到45.02%。偏冗余分析表明,影响细菌群落分布的主要环境因子有化学需氧量、磷酸盐、铵盐和总有机碳,共解释38.18%的群落变异,空间距离单独解释10.66%的群落变异。实验结果表明,养殖活动导致浮游细菌群落的改变,其中拟杆菌、放线菌和γ-变形菌的丰度显著变化,可能用于评价养殖水体的水质状况。     

重度霾污染时空气细菌群落特征及与关键环境因子的相关性

【背景】近年来频繁发生的霾污染事件严重威胁着人类的正常生活和社会经济发展。目前对霾污染颗粒物的重要组成部分生物气溶胶的关注较少。【目的】明确霾污染时空气微生物的特征,为进一步研究空气微生物对霾污染的形成及反馈机制奠定基础。【方法】采集了北京地区重度霾污染的样品,测定颗粒物的化学组分,通过高通量测序技术分析空气细菌群落结构特征,并明确其与环境因子的相关性。【结果】霾污染显著改变空气细菌群落结构、降低α多样性。霾污染使空气中变形菌门相对丰度显著上升,放线菌门相对丰度下降。颗粒物浓度及化学组分是重度霾污染中影响空气细菌群落结构的关键环境因子。与气态污染物SO₂和NO₂相比,水溶性离子硫酸盐、硝酸盐和铵盐对空气细菌群落结构的影响更大。【结论】解析了重度霾污染时空气细菌群落特征和关键环境因子之间的相关性,为大气环境微生物的研究、空气质量的评价及霾污染的有效防治提供了数据参考。

The application of ionizers in domestic refrigerators for reduction in airborne and surface bacteria

Aim: To investigate the antimicrobial effect of ionization on bacteria in household refrigerators. Methods and Results: Ionizer prototypes were tested with respect to their technical requirements and their ability to reduce surface and airborne contamination in household refrigerators. Ion and ozone production of the tested prototypes were measured online by an ion meter and an ozone analyser. The produced negative air ion (NAI) and ozone amounts were between 1·2 and 3·7 × 10⁶ NAI cm^?3 and 11 and 19 ppb O₃, respectively. To test the influence of ionization on surface contamination, different materials like plastic, glass and nutrient agar for simulation of food were inoculated with bacterial suspensions. The reduction rate was dependent on surface properties. The effect on airborne bacteria was tested by nebulization of Bacillus subtilis– suspension (containing spores) aerosols in refrigerators with and without an ionizer. A clear reduction in air contamination because of ionization was measured. The antimicrobial effect is dependent on several factors, such as surface construction and airflow patterns within the refrigerator. Conclusions: Ionization seems to be an effective method for reduction in surface and airborne bacteria. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study is an initiation for a new consumer tool to decontaminate domestic refrigerators.     

Chemical characterization of airborne bacteria using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS)

In this study, the chemical characterization of airborne bacteria is explored using X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS). Samples were taken by using a 6-stage Andersen impactor. Airborne bacteria were collected on nutrient media in Petri dishes located on all impactor stages. On the basis of the obtained XPS spectra the ratios of N/C, O/C, and P/C were calculated for 11 Gram-positive and 4 Gram-negative strains. The results agree well with the data obtained by others for the test microorganisms/stock cultures. It is concluded that XPS analysis might be applied for identification of airborne bacterial strains and species but rather in conjunction with different techniques. Especially, a complementary method to XPS seems to be FTIRS.     

Spatial and temporal distribution of nanoflagellates in the northern South China Sea

Seasonal variation, horizontal and vertical distribution, and cell size of nanoflagellates, together with physico-chemical and biological factors, were studied in the northern South China Sea (SCS). It was found that nanoflagellate abundance ranged from 0.157 × 10³ to 9.193 × 10³ cells/ml (with a mean of 0.891 × 10³) in winter (February, 2004), while it ranged from 0.107 × 10³ to 5.417 × 10³ cells/ml (with a mean of 0.599 × 10³) in summer (July, 2004). Nanoflagellates were more abundant in winter than summer in offshore regions, showing an unique seasonal pattern in this subtropical marginal sea. The abundance of nanoflagellates decreased from the estuary to the offshore region. Vertical distribution of nanoflagellates coupled well with that of bacteria and Chl a. The small size fraction of less than 5 μm dominated the nanoflagellate populations. Wind-driven mixing, eddies, availability of nutrients as well as Chl a and abundance of picoplankton seemed to be the major controlling factors for the spatial distribution and seasonal variation of nanoflagellates in the study area.

Aerobiological monitoring of the 'Sistine Chapel': airborne bacteria and microfungi trends

The present paper reports the results of a bacteriological and mycological monitoring carried out on the airborne microflora of the Sistine Chapel. The general aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the flow of visitors, as well seasonal effects, on the qualitative and quantitative variations of microorganisms. Two sampling campaigns were carried out in May and November 1997. A Surface Air System (SAS) sampler (active system) and a sedimentation based sampler (passive system), supported by an original plinth, were used. Temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide were detected. VITEK SYSTEMS jr. for Staphylococcus spp. and microscopic observation for microfungi were the identification methods. In spite of the conditioning and filtration air system, initial results with both samplers, show a positive correlation between the airborne microorganisms and presence and number of visitors. The SAS samples showed higher microbial load, for both bacteria and fungi, than the passive ones, but the epidemiological meaning of the differently collected data varies. The increase during visiting hours of human Staphylococcus spp. is stronger than the airborne bacterial load increase. The microfungi most frequently isolated were Cladosporium spp. and Penicillium spp. These preliminary data underline the significance of the survey for the protection of such a precious environment, and encourage the Authors to continue the ongoing monitoring. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
